The Carver 500 is a 50-foot fiberglass flybridge motor yacht powered by twin Cummins 6-cylinder diesel engines producing 420 horsepower each. The engines have approximately 1,060 and 1,050 hours respectively, with 1,000-hour service completed in 2022 including after-coolers, heat exchangers, gear coolers, raw water pumps, and injectors. The yacht cruises at 10 knots and carries 600 gallons of fuel across four aluminum tanks, plus 200 gallons of water capacity. A 13.5-kilowatt Kohler diesel generator provides shore independence, and the electrical system features eight 6-volt house batteries and a 1,500-watt inverter.
Below deck, the yacht offers three staterooms and two heads. The master suite features a walk-around queen bed, dual hanging lockers, and a private ensuite with soaker tub and vacuflush toilet. The VIP stateroom has a queen island bed with ensuite access and shower, while the guest cabin provides bunk beds. The galley is appointed with a three-burner stove, convection oven, dual sinks, and solid surface counters with cherry wood joinery. The salon includes wrap-around dinette seating, settee, and beverage fridge.
The flybridge offers a hardtop with full enclosure, complete helm station, and walkaround forward seating. Topside, an aft deck provides space for dining and entertaining.
